FPV of my first Bluefin bite. Onboard the Independence on the Youngs Tackle 6 day April 2026. Just started acquiring gear and learning saltwater fishing 4 months ago. I chose a longer first trip to have more time in the trenches to learn as much as I could as fast as I could from deckhands and other anglers. Pick brains and always give up the rod when asked. Thanks to YouTube videos, I had a faint idea of what to expect but wasn’t sure how the bite would feel. Hope you find this video helpful if you are new like I am. Filmed with the DJI 6 in open-gate.
Catching your first bluefin tuna is an exhilarating experience that combines patience, skill, and a touch of luck. These majestic creatures are known for their incredible speed and strength, making them a prized catch for anglers around the world. The moment you feel that powerful tug on your line, your heart races as you begin the battle with one of the ocean’s most formidable opponents. As you reel in the bluefin, adrenaline courses through your veins, and you experience the thrill of the chase. Once aboard, the sheer size and beauty of the bluefin leave you in awe, marking an unforgettable milestone in your fishing adventures. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or new to the sport, landing your first bluefin is a moment of triumph and a story to share for years to come.
The Big Lift… 40-ft / 12m Antenna Mast - Does It Actually Work?
The final part of the Mast #2 build – and today we go for the big lift. This is the smaller 12m / 40ft tilt-over mast, a mini version of the bigger 19m / 62ft mast. It uses a falling derrick, winch, pulley system, temporary “orphan guys”, and a fair bit of Pythagoras to keep everything under control.
After the false start and redesign in the last video, this is where we find out if the geometry actually works.
There’s a lot going on in this one:
– setting the real guy lengths
– sorting the handover from temporary lines to permanent guys
– fitting the final pole
– dealing with wind, rope, pulleys and awkward geometry
– and finally getting the mast upright
– dealing with a stuck sheep(!)
Then we get to the fun question: what antenna should go on top?
Options include a simple 15m Yagi to get us started, a longer-term interleaved 15m / 6m Yagi, or maybe even a 15m and 6m cubical quad.
Vote in the comments: Yagi or Quad – and tell me why.
This has been hard work, but very satisfying. Mast #2 is up.
